I don't eat fois & avoid transfats like the plague, but all these raving lunatics who want to dictate to their fellow citizens what they can & cannot put into their mouths should start first by observing another ban themselves - the one against smoking crack!These arrogant, self-righteous twits' brains have obviously already taken an extended dip in the deep-fryer.
On the bright side, all this is making a lot of erstwhile bleeding heart liberals who also happen to be foodies begin to realize the downside to having supported the expansion of government intrusion into everyone else's lives all these years.Lotsa chefs out there are suddenly reading up on libertarian philosophy these days, now that it's their ox (next on the list?) being gored, lol!
School districts everywhere are doing just that.
First it was no homebaked/homemade food for parties because.. "because, well, we don't know where it came from and the Health Department hasn't approved your kitchen". The Soccer Moms were all fine with that because they couldn't cook anyway. Now the fricken state is dictating what can and cannot be served in school cafeterias. That, after years of outsourcing food to places like Taco Bell and Pizza Hut and building schools with minimal kitchen facilities. The most some of the new schools can do it put stuff in the warming tray.
Funny because 10 years ago when they started that B/S I called the district ranting and raving. A friend who worked for the district told me to be careful because they do record telephone conversations with trouble makers.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
